souri and Mississippi Rivers the former has tray
eled many hundreds Of miles farther than the lat

20 the Gulf of MeNico But the earlier explorers
believed the Mississippi To have Travelled farther,
consequently the Missouri loses the honor Of being
the longest river on the Continent and becomes
merged IN the Mississippi.
